Most Dangerous Cities In the World
I can't believe I've been here in 2008 and 2010, when the city was considered the "most dangerous city in the world." Since I only pass there, I don't really get to see how it was like, plus I was young. I remember seeing in the statistics that Cd. Juárez had around 190 homicides, more homicides than the most dangerous city today in 2015! I vaguely remember another statistic that said the rate was above the 200s. This city makes Mexico look like a country in war, and the sad thing is that it is an important destination point for many people both in the United States and Mexico as it is a border city. Heck, knowing that this city was (and still) is very dangerous, it makes it seem even more ominous to see it posted on road signs about 12 hours south of the city, by Zacatecas, as if it were leading you to "your grave." If you really want to see how dangerous this city is, try living there, if you dare.
Baghdad is the capital of Iraq and is situated along the Tigris River. As one of the largest cities in the Arab world, it has historically been a center of learning and culture. Today, it serves as Iraq's administrative, economic, and political hub. Despite the challenges of recent conflicts, the city... read more started a war for crying out loud. I think Compton should be here
It's absolutely heartbreaking what happened here. Before Maduro, it used to be a great place to visit. After Maduro...Just look at it now. It's now just a large combat zone between rebels and one fo the most horrible governments on earth. There are dictators who are great people - Putin, Assad, The dude in charge of Australia, but Maduro is not one of them.
The collapse of Venezuela's economy is turning Caracas into a third world city.
I am Venezuelan and I agree at the moment it is the most dangerous place in the world. The economic crisis is growing and I think that if Maduro doesn’t step down Venezuela will be destroyed
A few months ago I was listening on the radio to a BBC foreign correspondent talking about his recent visit to Somalia, though he remarked that he found much of the country quite orderly, and he had been in much rougher and moe dangerous places, such as parts of Nigeria and parts of Mexico.
Look up what happened in 1993. Then realize that the government still doesn't really have full control over the city, with entire neighborhoods literally run by terrorists. Detroit is a Caribbean resort town in comparison.
When my uncle went there he took pics of the soldiers taking 5 corpses out os a suv
Should be number one, 171 murders every 100,000 people, INSANE murder rate, it's actually statistically the most dangerous city in the world.
In 2012 alone, 7100 people were murdered. That doesn't include sing of age or sickness
Statistically The MOST Dangerous City In The World
Detroit is the largest and most populous city in the U.S. state of Michigan. Located across from Windsor, Ontario, Canada on the Detroit River, Detroit had an estimated population of 672,662 in 2018. I live in Detroit, I am a delivery driver. I have never been robbed. Yes Detroit can be very dangerous and a lot of people are killed but it's generally due to drugs and other crime if you are minding your own business and not where you should not be generally you will have no problem. And it really bothers me when people talk about gangs and Detroit. Detroit is not a gang City there are not major gangs in Detroit I repeat there are not gangs in Detroit there may be cliques or blocks but no gangs. When I say blocks I mean people who live on one block stick together. People who live on the next block might fight against the other block but there are not gangs. But as it goes for a city that is not currently engaged in a war Detroit is likely the most dangerous city in the world.
I think all of us are glad that the fighting seemed to be over in December 2016, and the people there were spared further suffering. I was recently reading a report from an Englishman, actually a Church of England priest, who was in Aleppo soon afterwards. On his website he claimed that the Syrian Army and the Russian Army seemed to be working hard to provide relief to the people, food, medical supplies etc. Also he claimed that the people he had spoken to there were very glad that the rebels had been driven out, because the rebels had used them as human shields and prevented them from leaving the city. The Christian population were putting up Christmas trees in the city and openly celebrating Christmas again, whereas during the rebel occupation it would have been unsafe for them to even admit that they were Christians.
However this account is very much at odds with the T.V. reports we were watching here in the U.K., where the narrative always portrayed the Syrian and Russian armies as the villains whose relentless bombardment of the city was the cause of so much mayhem suffering there. During the Channel 4 news a Syrian government minister was given one of the most hostile interviews I have ever seen, but while I was watching it I thought "Hang on a minute here, what is happening in Mosul, Iraq right now? " I am sure that people living in Mosul, Iraq will be suffering just as much as the anti-ISIS coalition attempts to take it back from ISIS, and the city could well be another Aleppo, only you will not see this on T.V. news in the U.K., or if there is any reference to people suffering there it will only be attributed to ISIS using them as human shields. The T.V. news bulletins here also very suddenly stopped mentioning Aleppo as soon as the government took control again, and so if we want to find out what is happening there now we have to turn to internet blogs such as the one I mentioned earlier.
Karachi is very safe now after army crush the MQM have links with india and support terrorist activities in the city. Very safe now,

The capital city of the Philippines, Manila is located on the eastern shore of Manila Bay. It is one of the most densely populated cities in the world, with a rich history influenced by various cultures including Spanish, American, and indigenous influences. As a center for commerce, education, and... read more I am British but my wife is from the Philippines and we live in Nottingham, but when we go to the Philippines we stay in our house in Quezon City, part of Metro Manila. Actually I feel much safer and more relaxed walking the streets (and riding the Jeepneys) in Manila, even though I am surrounded by so much poverty and many slum areas, than I do in many places in Europe. Whenever I visit a new place anywhere in the world there are two things that forewarn me to be careful and watch my belongings and my step, these being (i) seeing people just loitering around and looking as though they are watching you around and scoping you out, and (ii) being accosted by beggars who seem to be often aggressive and intimidating fit able bodied youths and young men. By contrast I have noticed in Manila that (i) everyone seems to be going about their business and are not paying much attention to me or anyone else and (ii) the beggars are surprisingly few in number and anyway are only children, frail and infirm elderly people and visibly disabled people who are blind or have limbs missing.
Has some of the highest murder rates on the planet.
